OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this article is to review the embryology of the lower
limb arterial anatomy along with common variants and their clinical relevance.
DESIGN: Embryologic variations of the lower limb arterial system may be
explained by i.) persistence of primordial arterial segments, ii.) abnormal
fusion, iii.) segmental hypoplasia/absence, or a combination of both. Persistent
sciatic artery, corona mortis, and popliteal entrapment syndrome will also be
discussed with associated symptoms, and potential complications.
CONCLUSION: Knowledge of these variations is essential for surgical and
endovascular management as failure to recognize them can result in
complications.
